The
following PowerPoint presentations were created by teachers
participating in an ESEA Title II grant-funded project for use
in the teachers' classrooms. They reflect the individual’s
experience at a particular site and are not intended to
accurately reflect what happens on all archaeological
investigations around the country or world.

Archaeology is the science that seeks to learn about past humans and their
culture from the material remains that were left behind. Archaeology is not
"treasure hunting," and involves much more than just finding and digging up
those material remains or artifacts. Archaeologists try to tease out as much
information as possible about the past from a small sample of sometimes poorly
preserved or fragmentary material objects. Modern archaeologists may spend three
or more times longer in the lab than they do in the field-trying to discover the
meaning behind the artifacts they have found. Click here to enter
The Process of Archaeology web site and learn about the
whole process of archaeology, from the initial research and logistics to the
final analyses and interpretations that bring the past to life. The
information in The Process of Archaeology web site provides
background information to support the mathematics
activities above.
The Math/Archaeology Activities and The Process of Archaeology web information
were created as part of Wisconsin Department of Public
Instruction Mathematics and Science Program Partnership Grants.
